Stuart James eventually saw a stonking goal at the King Power Stadium:

It was one of those moments that take your breath away and for Cardiff City and their supporters provided the perfect end to 2018. Víctor Camarasa picked the ball up around 25 yards from goal, looked up and curled a wonderful right-footed shot that arced over the head of Kasper Schmeichel and into the top corner. Cue pandemonium in the away end and wild celebrations among the Cardiff players.

This was the kind of dramatic collapse that will leave Tottenham Hotspur wondering if they have the depth and killer mentality to last the distance in the title race. After their recent goal glut Mauricio Pochettino’s side came crashing down to earth after running out of steam against Wolverhampton Wanderers, who did Liverpool a potentially significant favour with a stunning late comeback at Wembley.

For a long time it looked like Salomón Rondón’s powerful headed goal would earn another precious away win for Newcastle, but then Abdoulaye Doucouré came off the bench to deny the visitors with a header of similar quality. It was a fair result, even if the visitors were the more tidy side for long periods.

Fulham grabbed a vital three points at the death to keep alive their hopes of Premier League survival. By the looks of the Huddersfield players, who dropped as one to their haunches at the final whistle, the result was an equal blow to their own chances of staying up. In a poor-quality game of few chances, a defining moment had looked unlikely to arrive, but it did, and how important it may yet prove to be.

We just didn’t keep the ball well enough. Wolves kept the pressure on and whenever we got it we gave it straight back again. Disappointing. These are games that we should be winning, so it’s a shame we finished the year the way we have.

Second half we just didn’t keep the ball enough. We didn’t have the same energy as the first and we’ve only got ourselves to blame.

Games like this at home are games we should be winning, especially when you’re 1-0 up. Disappointing, but we’ve got a game in three days and we need to dust ourselves down and get back to winning ways.

We’ve been through a stage in the season already when we lost a couple and we bounced back. Now it’s important that we do that again.

I think we did a very good game in the second half. First half also. Organised. Tottenham have a lot of qualities, they have talent, mobility. We had to stay in shape, stay balanced, knowing the game can change. And it changed in the second half in our favour. The boys did very well, very well.

I think we had more ball. And when we have the ball we manage better the situation. You have to defend because your defensive process is what keeps you in the game, but when we had the ball the lines of the boys was good.

“Would love to hear a bit of discussion of how the 4th best GK in the world (according to the Guardian top 100) allowed that Jimenez goal,” says Peter McMurry. I think he got a World Cup-related voting boos there – I certainly wouldn’t put him above (in no particular order) Oblak, Ederson, Alisson, De Gea or Ter Stegen.

A mere six weeks ago, Jürgen Locadia suggested he would use the winter months of a bleak first year in England “to think if this is still good for me”. It certainly looks pretty satisfying from Brighton’s point of view now. The suggestion Locadia, a £14m signing who had not scored in the Premier League before the Boxing Day draw with Arsenal, would earn Brighton a four-point haul from two fiendish home assignments might have drawn blank looks earlier in the month but his Premier League career now has lift-off. His close-range winner, awarded at length after Robert Madley had originally ruled it out for offside, punished a sloppy start to the second half from Everton and ensured Brighton put a four-game winless run well behind them.

Liverpool v Arsenal: Premier League – live!

With all these Premier League goals I am yet to inform you that a floodlight failure at Norwich has forced the players from the field with eight minutes to play and the Canaries leading Derby 3-2! Three of the four floodlights are working just fine, but it seems that’s not enough.

Final score: Fulham 1-0 Huddersfield

Aleksandar Mitrovic saves Aboubakar Kamara’s penalty-related blushes with a late winner against Huddersfield. It was Mitrovic who made the strongest efforts to physically grab the ball out of Kamara’s sweaty grasp before the penalty, and he went on to show his team-mate how the goalscoring business is supposed to be done with a smart finish!

What a goal it was! An absolute top-class beauty of a goal! The ball was played into the penalty area, tapped back to Camarasa 30 yards out, and he takes one touch to set himself before curling a gorgeous curling, dipping shot over Schmeichel and into the top corner!
